West Ham recovered after falling behind, to thump Leeds all the way back to the Championship - barring a miracle. Lady luck has been in short supply at LS11 this season; that's not to say they don't deserve to be in their present predicament. They have been incompetent, disorganised, unstable, lack composure, and are completely devoid of Northern grit, synonymously associated with our great club, in years gone by.

Leeds started the better, and deservedly took the lead after 17 minutes. Rodrigo latched on to Weston McKennie's long throw, volleying home from 15 yards. They managed to stay ahead for 15 minutes until the inevitable happened. Bowen's deep cross found Declan Rice in acres of space. His first time effort (into the ground) deceived Robles before nestling kindly in the back of the net.

The visitors took the lead with 20 minutes left on the clock. Ing's threaded a delightful ball into Bowen's path, slicing open the Leeds defence. The former Hull man then calmly side footed his effort past Robles' despairing dive. To add insult to to injury, Lanzini added a third in injury time.
